Jonathan Cobb, senior programme leader, climate, at World Nuclear Association, was in Baku, Azerbaijan, and he tells the World Nuclear News podcast that although there was no direct reference to nuclear energy in the agreement eventually reached at COP29, there was further progress among the "coalition of the willing" with six more countries signing up to the New Zero Nuclear goal of tripling nuclear capacity by 2050.
